PETS - Proactively ensuring team success through learning analytics aligned w...Blackboard APAC
While team work is intrinsic to authentic, collaborative learning in higher education, every student and academic has a horror story to tell about group dysfunction and social loafing. Dysfunctional teams often become apparent too late to rectify the problem. We will showcase a multifaceted approach to supporting students in complex team projects in two large (1200+) First-Year Engineering design and build courses at the University of Queensland. The PETS (Proactively Ensuring Team Success) process systematically utilises learning analytics from in-house LTI tools and Blackboard Learn for strategic intervention to support student teams.
Delivered at Innovate and Educate: Teaching and Learning Conference by Blackboard. 24 -27 August 2015 in Adelaide, Australia.

The learning pathway is a navigational element in Blackboard courses at the University of Queensland and a visual representation of what students need to know and need to do each week to stay on track. A JavaScript visualises course materials and activities in form of a clickable pathway that easily guides users to relevant course content to help learners can _see_a pathway for achieving the learning objectives. Since the first iteration of the Learning Pathway in 2012 the system has been successfully embraced by a variety of small and large classes (1200+ students) at different levels across faculties and institutions. The presentation will introduce an updated version and showcase pathway examples from a range of different disciplines and report on usage and how students interacted with the pathway and learning resources. We will provide an outlook to the next stage of the project which aims to provide students with individually tailored maps for planning and tracking learning trajectories. These maps, embedded within Blackboard courses, will make engagement visible to academics and learning visible to students, including factual knowledge and conceptual understandings, metacognitive and problem solving abilities, as well as professional and behavioural skills.

Rethinking the ‘flip’: Exploring innovative teaching practices in the univers...Katya Pechenkina, PhD
This paper discusses preliminary results of a study with twenty teaching academics who use the elements of flipped classroom in their teaching. Grounded in recent literature on blended learning, flipped classroom and innovative teaching, this paper draws on the thematic analysis of rich qualitative interview data to offer new insights into teaching tactics academics devise to boost student engagement, motivation and creativity. The flipped classroom elements taken up by the academics in this study range from the ‘traditional’ flip concept where lectures or segments of lectures are replaced by independent study components (both technology-enabled or not) to a more hybridised teaching tactics allowing for greater personalisation of learning, to a holistic re-think and re-design of students’ learning experiences achieved by introducing multiple elements of the flipped pedagogy. Based on this data, recommendations are offered on how to achieve an impactful flipped design.
